Your donation has made a meaningful difference in how our students learn and manage their work each day.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, each student now has a set of color-coded folders for every academic subject. These folders have helped students stay organized all year, quickly find their papers, and take greater ownership of their learning. Having a clear system in place has reduced lost work and allowed students to focus more on learning and less on managing materials.\r\n\r\nThe sheet protectors you provided have also been a powerful learning tool. We use them daily for interactive writing and math activities, allowing students to write, erase, and reuse materials as they practice new skills. This has made learning more engaging while also helping us be resourceful.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has supported independence, organization, and confidence in our classroom. We are truly grateful for your investment in our students and their success.","fullyFundedDate":1748251253332,"projectUrl":"project/organized-and-ready-to-learn/9345499/","projectTitle":"Organized and Ready to Learn","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Nunez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp662437_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1565014954264","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-nunez"},{"teacherId":662437,"projectId":9180145,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of school supplies to our first grade classroom. Now that we are well into the school year, we wanted to share how meaningful your support has been.\r\n\r\nSince the start of first grade, our students have been busy learning, growing, and building confidence every day. Supplies like whiteboard markers, pencils, scissors, and other essential materials have helped ensure that every child is ready to learn and fully participate in class activities. Because of your generosity, students are able to focus on learning rather than worrying about whether they have the tools they need.\r\n\r\nYour support also made it possible for us to send home a set of school supplies with each student. This has allowed students to continue practicing reading, writing, and math skills at home with their families, strengthening the connection between school and home learning.\r\n\r\nOverall, your donation has helped create an equitable and supportive learning environment where all students can thrive.

Students use them during reading programs, math practice, and small group instruction to help them focus and learn at their own pace. Having reliable headphones allows students to fully engage with digital lessons without distractions, which is especially helpful when working on listening comprehension, phonics, or individualized practice.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is having their own set of headphones that work well and feel comfortable. It helps them feel prepared and confident, and they take pride in using the technology responsibly. Many students are especially grateful knowing there are extra headphones available if theirs stop working. This removes stress and prevents lost learning time. Overall, this project has made our classroom run more smoothly and has ensured that every student can participate fully in daily learning activities. Our students truly appreciate this support, and it has made a meaningful difference in their learning experience.","fullyFundedDate":1764686546828,"projectUrl":"project/turning-up-the-volume-on-learning/9913185/","projectTitle":"Turning Up the Volume on Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Finley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3752171_orig.jpg?crop=2078,2078,x0,y658&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1560989747782","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3752171"},{"teacherId":660135,"projectId":9920001,"letterContent":"On behalf of my entire second-grade class, I want to extend our deepest, most heartfelt THANK YOU for funding our project, Igniting Second Grade Imaginations.\r\n\r\nThe shipment of art supplies has transformed our classroom.

As a teacher, one of my greatest goals is to foster a love of reading among my students, and you have helped make this happen. When students have a wide array of high-interest books to choose from, they are more likely to have positive feelings toward reading.\r\nA well-rounded reading program includes allotted time for students to read for enjoyment. In the afternoons, after the hustle and bustle of reading, writing, math, and recess, students have time to grab a cushion, get cozy, and immerse themselves in books from their favorite author, series, or genre. Through the addition of high-interest titles, this is a time in the day that students are excited for! Thank you for contributing to second graders' love of reading.

The moment my students walked in and saw the new stools, their faces absolutely lit up. Several of them immediately asked if they could try them during independent reading, and within minutes they were rotating through, discovering which seats helped them focus best. One student said, \"I feel like I can actually sit still and think!\"—a reminder of just how powerful the right learning tools can be.\r\n\r\nThese stools have already transformed the way we work together. My students use them during small-group lessons, partner discussions, and writing workshops, and I've noticed increased engagement and calmer transitions. They love having a sense of choice and autonomy, which has made our classroom feel even more welcoming and student-centered. As we continue our current research and writing unit, these stools will support students in moving easily between groups, collaborating more comfortably, and staying focused for longer periods of time.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in their learning, comfort, and confidence.
